Joining the Club

The University of Queensland Tennis Club, which was founded in 1911, is the largest sporting club on campus.

UQ Sport Membership

In 2007, membership of The University of Queensland Sports Association (UQ Sport) is not a prerequisite for joining the UQ Tennis Club.

However, membership of UQ Sport is recommended as members of UQ Sport receive substantial discounts for access to sporting facilities (Tennis, Aquatic, Fitness and Athletics Centres).

Following the introduction of Voluntary Student Unionism from 1 July 2006, UQ Students are no longer automatically members of UQ Sport.

UQ Tennis Club Membership

In order to play fixtures, you must become a member the UQ tennis Club. The annual fee is $85.

The current fixture entry form also acts as a new member form.

If you wish to play in the regular fixtures, information on the formats available for each day is on the front of the form (or Page 1 for download versions).

Fixtures are run by the club (called UQTC events) on Monday and Thursday nights, the Brisbane Hardcourt Tennis Association (BHTA) on Saturday, and the Brisbane Night Tennis Association (BNTA) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The formats vary, with some being mixed competitions and others gender-neutral. Find the one that suits you!

Please note that the fees for each fixture are for the entire season, not per week, and do vary between the different options. Entries must be lodged by the closing date as there is usually very little time for us to organise times and make the draw before the season starts.

If you have not played for UQTC before you will have to come to a grading session. Times and dates are on the entry form (Page 1, under the fixture information). This ensures that teams are made up with players of same standard and makes play more enjoyable for all. If you feel you have improved after some time, you can always come to another grading.

Please fill out the back of the form (Page 2) as completely as possible. A working e-mail address really helps us as we send out 'e-updates' during the season to remind you of events. Mobile phone and work phone numbers help your team captain organise the team each week.

If you have further questions please contact the club.
